Civil War Collectors-here is an antique document that reflects the daily life of the Civil War soldier. It is a receipt, dated 5 December 1862 in Middletown, Connecticut, and issued by the Adams Express Company's Army and Soldiers Package Express. The receipt is for shipment of one box from Middletown to Washington, DC. The interesting part of this old document is in the fine print. The company promises only to get the package to a convenient point near the destination where it will be turned over to third parties for delivery to the consignee or the "Quartermaster or other officer of the regiment to which the consignee is attached." Disclaimers of liability follow. War was close to home in those days. Still-where were UPS and Federal Express when you needed them? The piece is approximately 8 ¼ inches wide by 5 inches high. It has been framed for your enjoyment, and the overall dimensions are approximately 10 ¾ inches by 8 ¾. Condition is excellent with no chips or tears. There are creases, as the recipient obviously folded the receipt to put it in his pocket, just as we would today. This is a fine piece of Americana, taken from the darkest hour of the country's history. Shipping extra. Connecticut residents and buyers picking up in Connecticut add 6% state sales tax. Buyers outside the USA are responsible for any taxes,tariffs or customs that might apply.

For those who wonder why gasoline taxes are so high or why it costs so much to keep the highways in repair, here is an antique document that shows what it used to cost to maintain the nation's transportation system. The document is a bill of expenses owed to one Elijah Paddock for "Repairs of Highways" from May to September 1826. It contains such items as $2.25 for two men and a team of horses for one day's work, $2.00 for two men and a boy for one day (the horses were clearly worth more than the boy!), and 31 cents for one man for part of a day. The total bill comes to $18.23. It was taxpayer utopia. The document itself is 7 ½ inches by 9 inches. It has been custom framed, and its overall dimensions are 12 inches by 15 inches. The condition is very good with no tears or chips. There is an ink smear in the lower left quadrant, which does not obscure any of the writing Shipping extra. Connecticut residents and buyers picking up in Connecticut add 6% state sales tax. Buyers outside the USA are responsible for any taxes,tariffs or customs that might apply.*** If you wish to see examples of similar items we have sold and/or

1832 Map of Mexico published by Arrowsmith February 15th 1832. This map was sold several years ago by W. Graham Arader lll. His label is on the reverse. The frame measures 33 by 29 inches and the map measures 19 adn one quarter by 24 inches. There is some foxing in an area middle bottom, which is shown in the pictures provided. ARROWSMITH, John. Mexico. London, 1832. Engraved map. 47.8 x 59.9 cm. (19 x 23-5/8 inches). Original outline coloring. Scale: 1 inch = approximately 110 miles. Inset: Mexico, showing its connection with the ports of Acapulco, Vera Cruz & Tampico. Plate number 44 at lower right. This map by the nephew of Aaron Arrowsmith was reissued several times, but this is the earliest issue. The large attractive map extends from the 42nd parallel to Guatemala and shows Texas on the eve of the Revolution. Texas appears in a truncated form, with an area smaller than that claimed by the Republic—the Nueces River is the southern boundary, and West Texas and the Panhandle are part of Mexican Territory. The American Fur Depot appears on the eastern shore of Youta, or the Great Salt Lake. Phillips, America, p. 409 (with date altered to 1834); Atlases 764. Taliaferro 238: "This is one of the first European maps to use Austin's Map of Texas, 1830, as a source.... The first edition of the atlas appeared in 1834; as subsequent editions were published, the maps were frequently revised."Shipping extra. Connecticut residents and buyers picking up in Connecticut add 6% state sales tax. Buyers outside the USA are responsible for any taxes,tariffs or customs that might apply. *** If you wish to see examples of similar items we have sold and/or appraised please go to our affiliate site www.OneofaKindAntiques.com and click the Archives / Homepage logo ***
